Getting Started

Higher order functions

Time
25 minutes
Activity
Assemble given pieces
def test_portfolio():
    portfolio = parse_csv('Data/portfolio.csv', types=[str, int, float])
    assert portfolio == [{'price': 32.2, 'name': 'AA', 'shares': 100},
                         {'price': 91.1, 'name': 'IBM', 'shares': 50},
                         {'price': 83.44, 'name': 'CAT', 'shares': 150},
                         {'price': 51.23, 'name': 'MSFT', 'shares': 200},
                         {'price': 40.37, 'name': 'GE', 'shares': 95},
                         {'price': 65.1, 'name': 'MSFT', 'shares': 50},
                         {'price': 70.44, 'name': 'IBM', 'shares': 100}]

def test_shares():
    shares_held = parse_csv('Data/portfolio.csv', select=['name', 'shares'], types=[str, int])
    assert shares_held == [{'name': 'AA', 'shares': 100}, {'name': 'IBM', 'shares': 50},

                           {'name': 'IBM', 'shares': 100}]

Refactoring a function

Time
35 minutes
Activity
Refactor function to add feature
def test_tuple():
    prices = parse_csv('Data/prices.csv', types=[str,float], has_headers=False)
    assert prices == [('AA', 9.22), ('AXP', 24.85), ('BA', 44.85), ('BAC', 11.27),
                      ('C', 3.72), ('CAT', 35.46), ('CVX', 66.67), ('DD', 28.47),
                      ('DIS', 24.22), ('GE', 13.48), ('GM', 0.75), ('HD', 23.16),
                      ('HPQ', 34.35), ('IBM', 106.28), ('INTC', 15.72), ('JNJ', 55.16),
                      ('JPM', 36.9), ('KFT', 26.11), ('KO', 49.16), ('MCD', 58.99),
                      ('MMM', 57.1), ('MRK', 27.58), ('MSFT', 20.89), ('PFE', 15.19),
                      ('PG', 51.94), ('T', 24.79), ('UTX', 52.61), ('VZ', 29.26),
                      ('WMT', 49.74), ('XOM', 69.35)]

Raising exceptions

Time
20 minutes
Activity
Add error check
def test_exception():
    with pytest.raises(RuntimeError) as e_info:
        prices = parse_csv('Data/prices.csv', select=['name','price'], has_headers=False)

Modules

Time
20 minutes
Activity
Refactor existing code to to reuse a function.
def test_prices():
    portfolio = read_portfolio('Data/portfolio.csv')

    prices = {  s['name']: s['price'] for s in portfolio }
    assert prices['AA'] == pytest.approx(32.2,abs=0.001)
    assert prices['GE'] == pytest.approx(40.37,abs=0.001)
